That reminded me of the chase from “Short Time”, where the gag is that the Cop is actively trying to die in the line of duty.
This film gets extra points from me as Dabney Coleman and Matt Frewer are called Burt and Ernie, and act accordingly.

That would be the Bollinger B2 pickup:
It’s an all-electric Class 3 pickup, with body panels deliberately designed to be replaceable by any shop with appropriate sheet metal, a press brake, and a riveter. Most of the lights, gauges, and running gear can be sourced from J.C. Whitney or standard truck-part suppliers.
It’s meant for pretty serious DIY field repair.

The windows shattered as if they were made from candy.
Really? That’s not what I saw. Looks like standard laminated safety glass.

I had a guy punch my windows for like 10 minutes once when I was being an ass and laying on the horn during a traffic jam.
I had to wash off the blood and if you look closely, you can see the scratches.
If this glass broke like that, it was designed to.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon asked for glass that could not be breached under X pounds of pressure. The engineering dept promptly came up with a glass prototype that would use its outer layers to absorb the impact and leave the window whole, but look funky.
And then the engineer sees them pick up a metal ball and…

The Landmaster was my first thought as well, though I only thought of it as “The vehicle in Damnation Alley”
